    Hello

    I need to do some modifications of Mysql's configurations but I cannot locate my.cnf file.

    Do you know how to find it ?

    My server : CentOs 7

    Thank you

    Hello,

    By default you’ll find MySQL’s configuration file at: /etc/my.cnf

    The file is not there.

    vi /etc/my.cnf : The system asks me to create a file with this name...

    Hi,

    Please check MySQL’s configuration file at /etc/mysql/my.cnf

    If not found then run below command to find my.cnf file
    Code:
    whereis my.cnf
    or
    find / -name my.cnf

    Hello,

    Could you verify if you are logged in via SSH as the "root" user? You can only edit the MySQL configuration with root access to the system.

    Thank you.
